In recent years a variety of alternative theoretical models have been developed to aid our understanding and to guide research in this area. This essay considers in particular the psychiatric model and the social interactional model of child abuse, together with research studies comparing physically abusive and non-abusive families. It will be concluded that research has pinpointed several important distinguishing features in the behaviour of abusive versus non-abusive families. A pattern of behaviour with their child is displayed by abusers that is proportionately more aversive than for non-abusers, and observations of parent-child interactions have revealed qualitative differences in patterns of interaction which seem to be a significant factor in the differentiation of abusive from non-abusive families.
近年来，人们开发了各种替代理论模型，以帮助我们理解并指导该领域的研究。本文特别探讨了虐待儿童的精神病学模型和社会互动模型，以及比较身体虐待家庭和非虐待家庭的研究。可以得出结论，研究已经明确指出了虐待家庭与非虐待家庭行为中的几个重要区别特征。虐待者与孩子互动时所表现出的行为模式，相比非虐待者而言，具有更大比例的厌恶情绪，并且对亲子互动的观察揭示了互动模式中的质性差异，这似乎是区分虐待家庭与非虐待家庭的一个重要因素。
